Will you share your own movie or pictures to your friends? Then do you want share your wonderful trip video or PPT to your friends via your widescreen TV instead of the laptop? Can you connect your computer to your TV? Here I'd like show you the way that how to connect a laptop or desktop to your TV.
Step 1: Connecting the Jack or Ports to TV
To keep your computer to a TV, your computer must have an output port to match the input port of your TV. Normally,it has 5 types of jacks or ports.they are Composite/phono plug (RCA) - An RCA connector, S-Video, VGA, DVI, HDMI.
Step 2: Choosing the right cable to connect your laptop or desktop to your TV.
1. Turn off your computer, and then take it around your TV. Unplug the monitor and other laptop Accessories, but do keep connected with laptop keyboard and mouse.
2. Connect the video cable from the output of your computer to the TV.
3. Turn on your TV and place it the input that match to that output of your TV. Maybe you need to read the guide for your TV on how to do it.
Ensure that the screen aspect ratio and pixel resolution of the television and laptop or desktop are compatible. Then you can see picture or video displayed on you TV. If the screen looks stretched, you probably need to reset the screen resolution in Windows. However, Mac laptops automatically configured screen resolution and conditions; if necessary, adjustments can be optimized in System Preferences. If window can not be seen on your TV, you should reconnect your laptop or desktop to control and adjust the screen resolution before you connect to your TV.
Do Notice: Cable VGA, DVI and component video can not support audio signals. However, no HDMI cables can support audio, but not all HDMI-enabled video cards support that.

Ez Steps to Seting Up Your Pc to TV System Using Video and Audio Cables!
To set up any type of PC to TV system whether to watch home TV on a computer or use a computer Internet TV (with PC Satellite TV software installed) to watch free Internet media on a home TV-set, it requires two key components: 1) Video Card, and 2) Video connector cable. Setting up this type of system using number 2 will be the focal point of this article.
Whichever one is the goal, watch home television on a PC or watch computer Internet TV (with PC Satellite TV software) on a home television set, keep in mind the picture quality on a digital high definition television will be higher than on a computer screen. This has a lot to do with the computer and screen capabilities/limitations that determine the video quality.
Setting up a PC to TV can be very cheap and simple enough that even a cave man can do it. For instance, while there are all kinds of computers today, many of them share common audio and video ports to make the transition easier. There are essentially four types of video connectors that will do the job, and only takes a little tech know-how. Here is a list of some of the most popular video connectors to consider:
Identifying Four Connector/Adapter Cables...
1. VGA, stands for Video Graphics Array, and are available to almost every Windows-based computer. Although this connection doesn't offer the highest quality that a HDMI or DVI connection offers, it's commonly used and works well with a SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) TV that uses a VGA port. The price for a used VGA connector can be a few dollars and under $20.00 to buy it new.
2. HDMI stands for high-definition multimedia interface and DVI means digital visual interface. Both of them offer the best connection for HD TV. Some high-end video cards on computers will have HDMI ports on HD TV-sets. Many times, MAC computers will have DVI ports that allows a connection to your television's HDMI port--using an HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter. For a used HDMI connector, it could run under $10.00 and a new one can cost over $10.00.
3. S-Video means separate video an can be found on SD and HD TV-sets. This type of connection is more common when connecting a DVD player to a SD TV-set. And it works well when using either a desktop or laptop computer that has an S-video port. The cost can be as little as a couple of dollars for a used connector cable to over $5.00 for a new one.00 (new).
4. Composite/RCA often comes with many TV-sets. More than likely, you have seen these cables at one time or another. They are those yellow, white, and red connector head cables for your video and audio. You can also use them to connect your video camera and DVD player. Some computers have video cards with RCA connections and they can be used to convert a computer's video signal through the RCA cable going into a TV-set.
When making an audio connection, it depends on the computer's port which in turn will determine whether or not to use separate cables to get the video and audio working properly. More than likely, you will have to optimize the computer's audio output such as volume settings and surround sound. This requires going into the computer's Control Panel to make minor adjustments.
How to make the audio connection depends on whether or not a computer has a HDMI port, which in turn determines if a single cable or separate cables for the audio and video are required. Also, connecting a headphone jack and external speakers to a computer can be made as well. Optimizing the audio output may be required but very simple to do. It's just a matter of adjusting the volume settings by going into the computer's control panel.
After determining which television and computer connector is needed, the next step is picking the correct video/audio cable to make the PC to TV connection. You can find any one of these connectors/adapters in local computer stores or online easily. The cost is very low and can take minutes to setup a PC to television system.

How do you make a RCA video projector?
I want to know how to make a projector with an rca video input in it. If you don't know what an rca video input is, it's the yellow cable plugged into a tv when you want to play your wii, ps2,ps2, etc. If you don't know how to make a projector like that and you know where i can buy a cheep one in a store (like $50 or less) please tell me.
Just Google "DIY projector") and you'll find numerous suggestions. That said, you are NOT going to make a reasonable projector for $50 or less. The site at the link suggest $200-$800.
You won't find any good used projectors for $50 ... and if you did it will undoubtedly have a burnt out lamp ($300-$500 alone) or other major problem. Expect to pay $300+ for a reconditioned/discontinued projector in a store. You MAY find something on eBay or Craigslist for less ... but before buying verify the condition of the lamp.
